Smart #tips for attending #online learning session or meeting or webinar during #lock-down

Greetings for the day hope you and your family members, beloved ones are safe and doing well. Here I would like to suggest you some smart tips for attending any online session or online meeting

During this pandemic situation due to Corona, as many of us i.e., students as well as working professionals are learning or working from home, through various online platforms. So just like earlier students used to attend the class or working professionals used to work in the office, there were some basic rules like punctuality, Grooming ,dressing and so on

Same is also there in case of Online Sessions. Here are some tips useful during online sessions, official meetings or any webinar or any live sessions

1. Technical Readiness/Technical know how

-Whether you are using any device like Android phone, tab, PC, laptop, make sure that you are aware about the basic technical knowhow or operations of the device

-Also before starting with the online session, have a basic knowledge to use the online platform features

For Example-In case of Zoom, learn How to Unmute the mic for speaking, How to start video camera, How to raise the Hand, How to use chat box

Keep ready in advance the necessary credentials like meeting ID and Password.

If possible always carry a notepad and pen with you and note down the required credentials so that if meeting is disconnected at your end for some technical reasons you can easily find the credentials and reconnect the meeting without wasting any time.

Also know how to set or customize the user name which is visible to all participants in online meeting

In some cases, if your video camera is off, then the image associated with your account is visible to all online participants so, make sure that image is suitable and good

Also check other Hardware aspects like charging of your device, Charging cables, nearby electrical socket if required to connect the charging, Headphones.

Make sure that your place have a good internet connectivity.

2. Punctuality

-Before 8-10 minutes of starting of session, be ready to attend the meeting. Instead of being late, waiting for some minutes in advance for start of session is always good.

Being ready before time to attend any online meeting is an indication of your habit of being punctual.

3. Greetings

Depending on the type and cause of online meeting or session just greet by saying “Good Morning All or Good Morning Team” or you can use the chat box and message “Good Morning team or Good morning all”

4. Surrounding/Work Place

-During an online session if you are required to keep your video camera on, then make sure that your device is in stable position.

As in case of laptop or PC, your video is stable, but if you are using mobile by holding it in a hand then it is good if you can fix your phone at some fix position using some support.

Reason behind this is that frequent movements of participant in video screen leads to distractions for other as well as host.

So select the background carefully

-As far as possible try to keep all background sounds mute, like TV or any sound systems.

-Select the comfortable and convenient place and if possible try to isolate yourself temporarily from your family members. Also you can tell your family members and friends about your online session schedule, so that they wont disturb you.

-While using your video camera make sure that there is a sufficient light at your place and you should sit in proper and straight position facing the camera

-Don’t attend any online session/Meeting by sleeping on bed or sofa.

This creates a negative impression.

5. Dressing

As far as possible, though it’s not mandatory to have a 100% formals dressing during an online session, But try to have a simple and sober dressing, which will maintain the dignity of online learning session or meeting.

Because remember, your first impression is the last one

6. Raising your concern and Asking for any doubts.

Just like in case of regular classroom session or meetings, for raising you concern or asking for any doubt, we used to raise our hands, same way in Zoom Application there is “Raise hand” option.

Another thing instead of disturbing the session, commenting in chat box regarding your query is also a good option.

Also if you find something useful information, you can take a screenshot of screen to save that information

Hope you all like the above useful tips before attending any online session.

Thanks for your time.
